    2015-Zhang-EtAl-On the Selection of ODE Models with Application to Predator-Prey Dynamical Models
    We propose a computationally inexpensive approach that employs statistical estimation of the full model, followed by a combination of a least squares approximation (LSA) and the adaptive Lasso.
